Right now they're going to Ironforge to buy the apples, and from there they'll go back to Coldridge Valley to meet the contact.

Edit: They now have the apples and are on the way back.

Edit 2: After returning the the apples, the contact in-game (Hatta) said, "Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see, but it is impossible. Humans hide their secrets to well... Each of you has seen something, something applish and hatty, which hides another thing."

Thanks MH, that is so cool!!I was getting rather confused, but now I understand, and it makes sense, a man with a splatted apple on his face!! It's been there so long, no-one would have thought anything of it!Coooooool, and fantastic.

MH rocks, even if I get lost in most of the heists, at least there are some smart people that can solve them.

I know you guys are gonna be frustrated, but I'm doing everything I can do. I'm 400 miles away from the Dallas drop off, and I'm at work and I can't save the friggin' world right now.

Here's the update from Dallas. I had two guys on the ground, and the Mac Heist contact missed them. He was driving around the block waiting for them, and somehow they missed each other. After leaping through more hoops than anyone wants to admit here, I made contact with the Mac Heist guy myself.

My guys were called into a meeting at BOA and were not able to get the package from the guy. HOWEVER, Mac Heist left the package at the security desk at the bank and my guys are going down to get it after the meeting.

As soon as I hear from them when they pick up the package, I'll get right back with you. Bear with me, gang. We've got the package. We just don't know what it is yet.

I don't see how we could be frustrated with you sending out your minions to do our bidding.

Heh, the fact that you've got "agents" of your own working on this very well qualifies you for Directorate status yourself, apt213.

I hate Kobolds. I spent 3 hours downloading 4GB of WoW to try to help out in the mission. I finally got it installed, and running, and couldn't join the Realm, because it was locked.

So I ended up just playing around in a different realm for a couple of hours while the other guys chased apples. I got my mage up to a level 7 before I shut it down. I can see why some people get addicted to WoW like heroin. I also know its _way_ too much of a time-suck for me. I won't be purchasing it past the 10-day trial.

My best wishes to all of those who have lost loved ones to this plague of humanity. :-)

Cheers,Wolf

In theory, theory and practice are the same, in practice, they are not.

It’s worse than you thought. Microsoft has been busy reverse engineering the stolen RDF technology over the past few weeks, and has successfully replicated the device’s functionality via software on personal computers and media players. While Apple’s own use of the device was limited to press events and several Jobs keynotes, there is already an ofﬁcial go ahead from the top to integrate Microsoft’s version of the RDF into its software offerings. Builds of Vista, Zune OS, and Microsoft Ofﬁce for Mac exist within labs, and have been shown to successfully inﬂuence users into buying Microsoft products and spurning all other competition. Current plans call for distribution of this software via a Mac anti-virus application, modiﬁed to ‘infect’ users with RDF when downloaded. - The Mole

I believe this is from the last Heist (Bugzapper). Don't know why you just got it now.

We've not gotten past the fortune teller, as far as I know. It's been pointed out that a couple of the roman numerals are either mirrored or just plain incorrect (or possibly that all of them are mirrored, but I doubt that since the words aren't). In any case, we were told the Priest in WoW was wielding a Mace (which is on the fortune teller).

I'm really hoping somebody will recognize the characters in the center of the fortune teller. That interests me greatly.

XZOLO was created for amusement, not to mislead anyone. This is a game, John, and games have dead ends. I think people understand it's a prank. It's my way of winking at Macheist. Perhaps you're taking it wrong? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
